The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) uses fixed-head star trackers (FHST's) and inertial reference units (IRU's) to determine and control its attitude. This combination of fine sensors results in attitude knowledge accuracies to better than 10 arc-seconds (1 sigma). UARS also has a variety of coarse attitude sensors on board: the three-axis magnetometer (TAM), the coarse Sun sensor (CSS), the fine Sun sensor (FSS), and the Earth sensor assembly (ESA). By comparing attitude solutions using coarse sensors with FHST-determined attitude solutions, estimates can be made of the accuracy of the coarse sensors. This paper presents the results of an analysis that compares attitude solutions using various combinations of UARS coarse attitude sensor data with FHST attitude solutions.
